Wasps are not very dangerous insects. Only, they cause such burning feeling on the part that they stung. Wasps also come out during summer time when it is such a wonderful time for outdoor activities like picnics. And this is where the inconvenience and annoying thing come in because you cannot fully enjoy your picnic with wasps flying around you and feasting with your food, too. Since it is summer, you want to be with nature. Unfortunately, your backyard is where the wasps built their homes. The following are simple ways on how you can control those wasps from ruining your summer fun.

Control the population of Minnesota wasps. As early as possible, you should be able to stop their continuing reproduction. You know that wasps live on trees, other plants or nooks and corners that are not disturbed. Therefore, always make it a point that for at least once a week, you are able to clean those undisturbed places and your yard. This way, wasps cannot build their nests in your place. They would look somewhere else that they will not be disturbed.

One wasp leads to others. Upon seeing a wasp flying around your home, do not ignore. It is best if you will follow where it hides because it will lead you to where it is building its nest or that single wasp may be just a member of a bigger group. You should take care of it early so that they will not spread anymore and reproduce more. Oftentimes, wasps bore holes so you must seal it that they will be trapped.

Don’t feed wasps. Although wasps are predators, that is, they eat other insects and small worms; they eat human foods on summer. This is why wasps are present during your picnics and outings because they feed on your food also. So, you should make sure that after you packed your things, you did not leave any leftover foods in your yard or else, the wasps will find it. Sweet foods and drinks also attract wasps and there are times that they become aggressive just to get to those. Better cover your drinks and seal your sweet foods.

The more you swat, the more they come. When you swat wasps, they will be smashed, thus, they produce a substance that attracts other wasps. You better go away from a wasp than keep on swatting them.

Sweet smell and bright colored fabrics attract wasps. Wasps looking for nectars can mistaken you for a flower if you wear bright colored clothes and sprayed strong perfume on your body. Avoid these things when you think that there are just nearby wasps.

The holes and strips on your ceilings are common houses for wasps. Protect this part of the ceiling from wasps by applying soap or aluminum foil on them so that wasps will not build their nests there.

Use wasp control products. There are many wasp control products that you can buy in the Minnesota market. Only, you should make use of environment friendly products. Through this, you will not harm the wasps, your family and others. Choose the one that is trustworthy so that you can easily control them and enjoy your summer vacation without wasps.
